God's Word must be the guide of your desires and the ground of your expectations in prayer.

Pure Christianity and serious godliness fear not the scrutiny of a free thought, but despise the impotent malice of a prejudiced one.

Poor people are as much in danger from an inordinate desire towards the wealth of the world as rich from an inordinate delight in it.

Those, and those only, can expect to be taught by God, who are ready and willing to do as they are taught... Those who go up to the house of the Lord with an expectation that He will teach them His ways, must go with a humble resolution that they will walk in His paths.

The prayers and supplications that Christ offered up were, joined with strong cries and tears, herein setting us example not only to pray, but to be fervent and importunate in prayer. How many dry prayers, how few wet ones, do we offer up to God!

God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer.

After a storm comes a calm.
